Expressing serious resentment over the levying of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on ongoing government projects, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao said his government would wage a legal battle against the 'unilateral decisions'.

The Chief Minister registered a serious protest against the decisions taken at the GST Council meeting on Saturday.

The Council has decided to reduce the tax slab on irrigation, drinking water, and roads and housing schemes to 12 per cent from 18 per cent, while the Telangana government has been demanding the complete removal of tax on such projects.
